Magpie Murders

I thought that this was a pretty solid book. In many ways (without spoiling it) it was like a story within a story within a story. I think that the character development was mostly whole and there was a lot of growth throughout the novel. I've read a lot of “who-done-it” books and I had to say I didn't guess the end ahead of time. In many parts of the book, when they have an ending or who-did-it, they retrace their steps and remention things you've already read to piece the puzzle back together. I liked that a lot because it felt like I was having a conversation about the mystery with the book rather than me just trying to parce through it myself. Many elements in this novel are well written and subtle.... so pay attention when reading because everything truly does count in the end.
